Rebellions enters Japan via Samsung distributor Tomen Devices

Korean startup Rebellions signed an MOU with Tomen Devices, Japan's largest Samsung chip distributor, to push its Rebel100 inference NPU into enterprise and government data centers. The Rebel100 delivers about 2 petaFLOPS of FP8 compute at 600W with 144GB of HBM3E, while a 32-chip RebelRack reaches 64 FP8 petaFLOPS at roughly 5kW.

• Tomen Devices has distributed Samsung chips in Japan since 1992
• Rebel100: four UCIe-Advanced chiplets, 144GB HBM3E, 2 FP8 petaFLOPS at 600W
• RebelRack: 32 chips, 64 FP8 petaFLOPS, about 5kW per rack
• Nvidia still holds over 90% of the data center GPU market
